I got a reply that my brother has given and two of my friends will gladly and one of them is democrat. God bless em. Neither of them is a vet either. Haven't heard from a few other friends so i guess a call is in order. Also the most amazing thing happened. No one has ever said that they were proud of me ever in my life and all of a sudden they told me today, Thanks for serving. Wonder what is causing this strange reaction from them?

I plan on giving $200 every month until the election. This cause is bigger than all of us. I truly believe if this man gets into office, our country as we know it will disappear.

Heads up SBVFT, the Democrats are getting ready to role out the big guns and they don't care who they bring down. We are with you and can only hope you are able to stay the course.

Fair winds and full sails,
Mastour

I guess my wife and I are part of the vast right wing conspiracy from Texas although we live in California. I am a middle class Hispanic, son of a WW2 Vet, brother of a Vietnam Vet and who's son-in-law is serving to secure a democratic Iraq. I am proud to support the SVFT and helping make a change from selling Presidential candidates like we sell soap to making a candidate face the truth and counter the DNC spinmachine. This is a revolution in politics and badly needed. Keep up the outstanding work!!!

I've gathered another 17 $5 checks. Are they still touting that it's only a couple rich guys in Texas funding this? Laughing

Hi All-

Does anyone know if it's legal for a Bush Team Leader to contribute to the SBVTs?

Thanks

I am not a lawyer, but looking at the lists of who contributes to what, I'd say that yes, it's perfectly legal to contribute to a candidate's official campaign and to a 527 of any stripe.

There are limitations on amounts to a candidate's official campaign and there are reporting rules by which the campaigns and 527's must abide. Make sure you understand what the rules are when you make a contribution to any of the fundraisers.

I have an idea for raising more money:

Ask your family and friends to give a SMALL AMOUNT, even $5 and offer to PAY IT if it is within your means and not in theirs.

Ask them to just go to the website and make a TOKEN donation.

Ask them to do this because the Swift's have the right to speak and because, on your word of honor, the right of the argument.

If they ask why you don't just give it yourself, then explain that the idea is to have a LOT of individuals stand up for the right of these vets to speak.

In the process you will have opened the discussion about the Swifts, and can take them to the website and the url for giving money.

Most will give $5 without expecting it back but be prepared to pull out your wallet.

Another thing happens, those that give a token are committing themselves to the right of the Swifts to speak and to pay attention to what their money is buying them.

I just gave for the second time. Not lots of money but every dollar counts. I will give each payday.
I hope everyone will give to this worthy cause.

It is amazing what a few phone calls will do. I have never ever in my life asked for anything from anybody in my life. I have always given my time and opened my check book when I was asked. Not sure what some of the people I have asked will give actually but i have now several commitments and they are going after others on their own. Swiftees, ya'll have done a great job with the ads. It seems to have awakened many people. Also it seems they like when i say that it wasn't just the swiftees (even though it is the biggest) but the whole nation he betrayed. I feel that his betrayal has caused a whole generation to feel ashamed. And over LIES.
